Road closures

Please note that the race starts at 8:45am.
Please note that all roads crossing the marathon route (except a few locations where there is a bridge or tunnel over or under the road)
will be blocked by the marathon due to high volume of runners. Crossing the marathon route by car or foot will be extremely difficult or impossible.
This will especially be true at the beginning of the race, along University Avenue, Queen's Park Crescent, Bloor Street West and Bathurst Street between 8:45am and 10:30am.
At the end of the race, runners will be further apart and crossing the marathon route will be easier.

University Avenue closed King Street West to Dundas Street West 4am to 11am

By car

The Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway will remain open during the marathon as usual.
Expect delays of 1 hour on Gardiner Expressway between 11am and 1pm. These expressways can be used to cross the marathon route by car.

By foot

These crossing points are shown with a pedestrian icon on the map above.

Most of these foot crossings are not wheelchair accessible. Even if a subway station is accessible, there usually is only an elevator
on one side. Some of these foot crossings may unfortunately be closed early in the morning on Sunday.
